Travel advice
By using mosim™ Roaming SIM you can have the same UK phone number wherever you are in the world.
Give friends and family your 'travelling' phone number and remind them to use it each time you go abroad.
Leave a voicemail message on your UK mobile reminding people how they can get hold of you when you are travelling - see our example voicemail messages.
If you travel regularly, it's a good idea to buy an unlocked mobile phone from our site or an independent retailer and keep your mosim™ Roaming SIM in that - then you won't have to swap SIM cards every time you go abroad. We sell phones to suit business travellers as well as occasional holiday-makers.
Your mosim™ Roaming SIM allows you to redirect calls to any landline or mobile anywhere in the world, so you can receive calls in a house or hotel room.
You can set up your account to top up automatically. Great for when you're on the beach or the ski slope without a credit card!
Alternatively, you can divert calls from your UK mobile to your mosim™ Roaming SIM number.
To divert all calls to your mosim™ Roaming SIM phone enter the following codes in your UK handset before removing your own SIM card: **21*your mosim™ Roaming SIM number#[SEND]. Any calls to your UK phone will now ring on your mosim™ Roaming SIM phone.
You will be charged for the diverted part of your calls, which will cost the same as a cross-network call. For example, if you are travelling to Turkey, most UK mobile networks charge between 90p-£1.39 per minute to receive a call from the UK. By diverting calls to a mosim™ Roaming SIM phone you will pay between 25-30p per minute for diverted calls, making a substantial saving. You will pay nothing to receive a call.
Nobody calling you will know you do not have your normal UK phone with you. On your return cancel the divert by entering: ##21#[SEND]
